A ship sails through the waves so wide
The helmsman gazes far with pride
Beyond the edge where waters blend
His city shines at journey’s end
In the dawn’s gentle light, arise,
Let joy be the song you sing,
Let joy be the song you sing,
A melody carried on the breeze,
A promise that each day can bring.
With laughter as the compass,
And hope the guiding star,
Sail forth to seek the treasures,
Found in both near and far.
Sailors dream of ports they know
Where every sea has shores to show
With hands and heart we forge our fate
Luck is earned it won’t just wait
Work is freedom’s sweet embrace
Bread and books and winds we chase
Forge the metal shape the steel
Build the dreams that make us feel
For happiness blooms in simple thingsβ
A friendβs warm smile, a shared embrace,
In the whispers of the leaves that dance,
Or the sunlight’s golden grace.
So gather dreams like seashells,
Each one unique and bright,
Cast away your worries,
Let your spirit take to flight.
The heart’s true wealth, it can’t be bought,
Itβs crafted in the moments shared;
In every caring hand you clasp,
In every burden lightened, bared.
As rivers weave through joyous lands,
Let your heart flow wild and free,
For happiness is not a distant shore,
Itβs found in every heartbeatβs decree.
So step into the warmth of laughter,
Let your troubles drift away,
For the world holds endless beauty,
And todayβs a brand-new day.
